I had a tummy tuck 18mos ago. 2 years prior I had full abs, 2mos prior small waist with loose skin, very minimal fat. I workout regularly and have a controlled/clean diet most of the time. Prior my stomach would fall into itself laying down and now stays out and is hard. Very obvious lower abdomen pooch and muffin tip over scar. 15lbs lighter than before surgery, it's not fat. My jeans and panties don't fit, I had to go up a size.
I want to get rid of my muffin top. I had a consultation with a dr and told him about my hips and the little pouch below my abdomen. He started talking about a tummy tuck. He said if I do lipo It would make my skin loose. Tummy tuck will fix my skin on the abdomen. But I don't think it will get rid of my hips which is want I want. I don't care about my belly other than the little pouch. And he doesn't do lipo and tummy tucks at the same time. Which one should I do?
Hello.. I'm 34, mother of 4 babies 3 vaginal 1 c section, upper abdomen retracted after the first 3 birthday but after the c section birth I have bulging in my pelvic area & the muffin top we all hate. I've done every exercise possible with little results.. please advise on surgery recommendations
I am 4 years post gastric sleeve surgery. I am 40 years old and in decent shape, 59 and large boned. After my sx I got down to 175ish and Ive finally stabilized at around 200. I have always had a large upper belly (above the belly button), the epitome of a muffin top. When I sit, I look as if I am pregnant. I have never had children and my shape has driven to all of my motivations to exercise/sx. I really just want my upper belly gone, but to still look as good as possible afterwards too, of course.
I had a tummy tuck about 2 years ago (it was a phenomenal job and the incision was extremely clean and healed well) I noticed I now have dog ears which makes me appear like i have a muffin top but i dont. Im looking to get these corrected but not sure on the cost. Any idea or range?
I had lipo done with tummy tuck. My muffin top area is much bigger on my right side. Has been from the beginning. And my belly isn't flat. I've lost a few pounds since surgery so know it can't be from weight gain. My question is, am I stuck lopsided? Could it be swelling? I just feel 11 weeks post op I shouldn't be lopsided and my belly should be flatter. The unevenness is very noticeable thru clothes. And was hoping to not still have excess skin or rolls
I had a full tt and muscle repair done last year. I was unhappy because I had this big muffin top.. So he said lipo would take care of it. So, 2 weeks ago I had lipo done on my flanks, hips and suppose to be my stomach. I still have the same big muffin top. Is this possible if he performed lipo on that part of my stomach? Im beginning to question if he just did my flanks. I am not a big obese person. He was supposed to do an anchor cut last year but he chose during the surgery not to do it.
What is the flanks? Is it the front AND backside of hips? I had a full tt and lypo of the flanks. Now that i am 6 weeks post and the swelling has gone down i realize my back hips are still muffins. Are the flanks only the front hips? Now i feel out of proportion
I am almost 4 wks post TT with flank tumescent lipo. I feel like more of the lower back muffin top should have been removed. The sides were done very nicely. Do drs sometimes miss an area of flanks and do revision lipo and how long do you have to wait before getting this done. Isn't the flank area toward the back and not just the sides?
I had TT 5/27/14 was not happy so I had lipo of abdomen 8-2 still had a muffin top so I was cut circumfrentialy to remove excess skin & tissue 11-2 I've noticed from day one my lower abdomen always stuck out more than I felt it should, could the repair have been weakly done from day one? Or what could of gone wrong, my surgeon is redoing my muscle repair 12-6 w/clamps is this possible I can't find anything on it. What are the odds of this second repair failing? Could exersizeing have cause it?
